Nuclear densitometry is a technique used in civil construction and the petroleum industry, as well as for mining and archaeology purposes, to measure the density and inner structure of the test material. The processes uses a nuclear density gauge, which consists of a radiation source that emits particles and a sensor that counts the received ...
Gas expansion pycnometer is also known as constant volume gas pycnometer. The simplest type of gas pycnometer (due to its relative lack of moving parts) consists of two chambers, one (with a removable gas-tight lid) to hold the sample and a second chamber of fixed, known (via calibration) internal volume – referred to as the reference volume or added volume.
ASTM International, formerly known as American Society for Testing and Materials, is a standards organization that develops and publishes voluntary consensus technical international standards for a wide range of materials, products, systems and services. Some 12,575 apply globally.
Nuclear density is the density of the nucleus of an atom. For heavy nuclei, it is close to the nuclear saturation density n 0 = 0.15 ± 0.01 {\displaystyle n_{0}=0.15\pm 0.01} nucleons / fm 3 , which minimizes the energy density of an infinite nuclear matter . [ 1 ]
Alternating current field measurement (ACFM) is an electromagnetic technique for non-destructive testing detection and sizing of surface breaking discontinuities. It was derived from the methods used in eddy-current testing and works on all metals, ferrous or non-ferrous. Since it doesn't require direct electrical contact with the surface it ...
Test methodology and equipment is defined in the ASTM International publications ASTM C131 for particle sizes smaller than 37 mm (1.5 inches) and ASTM C535 for sizes larger than 19 mm (3/4 of an inch); the overlapping range of 19 to 37 mm can be tested by either of two standards. [1] [2]
Specifically, it was used to produce bursts of neutrons and gamma rays for irradiating test samples, and inspired development of Godiva-like reactors. [ a ] The radiation source within the Godiva device was a fissile metallic mass (usually highly enriched 235 U ), [ 3 ] about 11.8 inches (30 cm) in diameter.
pptf – pounds (per square inch) per thousand feet (of depth) – a unit of fluid density/pressure [citation needed] PPS – production packer setting; PPU – pipeline process and umbilical; PQR – procedure qualification record; PR2 – testing regime to API6A annex F [clarification needed] PRA – production reporting and allocation
